Juventus chief Arrivabene announces Dybala departure

Juventus chief Maurizio Arrivabene has announced Paulo Dybala will be allowed to leave when his contract expires in June.

Talks over a new deal have collapsed and Dybala will now depart.

Arrivabene said, “The most important change is that Juventus have not renewed Paulo Dybala's contract. With the market I reiterated this, the approach was sincere.

“With the purchases made in January, with the arrival of Vlahovic, Paulo's position was no longer at the centre of the project. That's why this kind of decision was preferred.

“The parameters were different, I had already spoken about it, no one has ever questioned Paulo's ability. There were considerations to be made about appearances, length and financial considerations.

“We made our choices in January, we got here. It would have been easy for Juventus to make a low bid, but it would have been disrespectful towards Paulo. The decision is made. Today's meeting was friendly, clear and respectful."
